Question

5. Define moment of inertia and derive the moment of inertia of a rod about an
axis passing through the center and perpendicular to its length? (2 + 3M)
OR
​

Answer 1

The moment of inertia is a physical quantity which describes how easily a body can be rotated about a given axis. It is a rotational analogue of mass, which describes an object's resistance to translational motion.  
To derive the moment of inertia of an uniform rigid rod of length L and mass M about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing
